The Intel Core i7-13700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a desktop build defined by an extreme performance split. The CPU sits at the 85th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 37135, while the GPU sits at the 18th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 2690 — producing a combined percentile of 52. This dataset contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so all frame-rate discussion in this analysis is estimated from the benchmark scores rather than from direct capture.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a system where the GPU is the clear limiting component. The CPU's 85th percentile places it well above the field, while the GPU's 18th percentile places it far below. In any workload that engages the GPU — gaming, GPU-accelerated rendering, or machine learning inference — the GPU's low percentile will cap performance. The CPU, meanwhile, has substantial headroom and is rarely the constraint.

Thread scaling on the CPU illustrates its strength. In the 3DMark suite, the i7-13700 scores 2176 with 2 threads, 4279 with 4 threads, 7649 with 8 threads, 10075 with 16 threads, and 11737 at max threads. That is near-linear scaling: doubling from 2 to 4 threads more than doubles the score, and the 16-thread result is 4.6 times the 2-thread result. The GPU, by contrast, delivers a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690 — a result that is statistically tied with its nearest rivals: the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664, +1.0%), the GeForce GT 1030 (2662, +1.1%), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (2660, +1.1%), and the GeForce GT 440 (2645, +1.7%). The GPU's benchmark score is essentially identical to these low-end parts.

Therefore, the bottleneck profile is workload-dependent but heavily skewed. In CPU-only tasks — data compression, data encryption, integer math, physics simulation, or compilation — the CPU's 85th percentile dominates and the GPU is irrelevant. In any GPU-bound scenario — gaming at high settings, GPU rendering, video effects — the GPU's 18th percentile becomes the hard ceiling. The combined percentile of 52 reflects this split: a strong CPU paired with a weak GPU produces a mid-pack overall.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's benchmark results are comprehensive. In Cinebench R23, it scores 25369 multi-core and 2008.5 single-core. In Geekbench, it scores 17025 multi-core and 2329 single-core. The 3DMark suite shows 11737 at max threads and 1092 in single-thread. PassMark results include a multithread score of 36387, a single-thread score of 4101, integer math of 138974, floating-point math of 97723, data compression of 443900, data encryption of 25653, extended instructions of 26578, physics of 2053, random string sorting of 46418, and a find-prime-numbers score of 147. The CPU's average benchmark score is 37135, at the 85th percentile of all CPUs.

The GPU's benchmark profile is minimal: a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, placing it at the 18th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 2690, identical to its Steel Nomad result. The nearest rivals — the Quadro K1100M, GT 1030, Arc Pro B50, and GT 440 — are all within 1.7% of the 5070 SUPER's score. The combined picture is unambiguous: the CPU outperforms 85% of all CPUs, while the GPU outperforms only 18% of all GPUs. The combined percentile of 52 is a direct consequence of that imbalance.

CPU Analysis

The Core i7-13700 is a Raptor Lake-S processor built on Intel's 10nm process, designed for the Intel Socket 1700 platform. It has 16 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The cache hierarchy is 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and ECC memory is supported. The CPU includes UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics, and offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The TDP is 65W. The launch MSRP is $384. The multiplier is locked, so the CPU is not unlocked for overclocking.

The benchmark scores define a strong all-rounder. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25369 is high for a 65W processor; the single-core score of 2008.5 is solid for single-threaded responsiveness. The Geekbench multi-core of 17025 and single-core of 2329 reinforce this. PassMark integer math of 138974 and floating-point math of 97723 indicate strong arithmetic throughput for compute-heavy tasks. Data compression of 443900 and data encryption of 25653 are notable for storage and security workloads. The nearest rivals are extremely close: the AMD Ryzen 7 580 scores 37117 (0.0% delta), the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112 (+0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H scores 37161 (-0.1%), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 (+0.1%). All four are within 0.1% of the i7-13700's 37135 average, placing the CPU in a tight performance cluster.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU is more than capable of feeding a high-refresh display — its single-core scores (Cinebench R23 2008.5, Geekbench 2329, PassMark 4101) are strong. But the GPU's 18th percentile and its 2690 Steel Nomad score mean the GPU will be the frame-rate limiter in GPU-bound games. At any resolution, the GPU's low benchmark score will cap frame rates well below what the CPU can sustain.

Streaming: The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads provide ample headroom for simultaneous gameplay and encoding. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25369 suggests the CPU can handle software encoding without dropping frames. The GPU's 200 tensor cores and 50 RT cores exist, but the benchmark score of 2690 indicates hardware-accelerated encoding performance is not a strength.

Video editing: The CPU's strong multi-core performance (R23 25369, Geekbench 17025, PassMark multithread 36387) is well suited to timeline scrubbing and export. The GPU's 18th percentile will limit GPU-accelerated effects and rendering. The 18 GB of GDDR7 memory is generous, but the GPU's compute performance — 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 — is not reflected in the benchmark score.

3D rendering: CPU-based rendering is a strong point. The R23 multi-core score of 25369 and PassMark multithread of 36387 make this a capable CPU renderer for workloads that use the processor. GPU-accelerated rendering will be severely limited by the GPU's low percentile.

Software development: The CPU is ideal for this role. Compilation is heavily CPU-bound, and the integer math score of 138974, data compression of 443900, and 85th percentile position make this a strong machine for builds, testing, and virtualization. The GPU is irrelevant for most development workflows.

Student and office work: The CPU is far more powerful than needed for documents, spreadsheets, and web browsing. The GPU, at the 18th percentile, is sufficient for 2D productivity but not for any GPU-accelerated work. The 65W TDP keeps the CPU power draw low.

Who Should Build It

The primary audience for this build is a user who prioritizes CPU-heavy workloads and does not rely on GPU acceleration. Software developers, students in computer science, and small-business workstation users running CPU-bound data processing will benefit directly from the CPU's 85th percentile. The GPU's 18th percentile is a serious drawback for gamers — this build is not suitable for high-fidelity gaming at any resolution. Content creators who render on the CPU (e.g., Blender CPU mode or software encoders) will find the 16 cores valuable. For 3D artists using GPU-accelerated renderers, the GPU's low benchmark score will be a major limitation. The build is also a good fit for office workstations and general productivity where the GPU is idle and the CPU's strong single-core performance (Cinebench 2008.5, Geekbench 2329) handles everyday responsiveness.

GPU Analysis

The GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a Blackwell 2.0 GPU on a 5nm TSMC process, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². It has 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. It includes 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores. The base clock is 2325 MHz, the boost clock is 2512 MHz, and the memory clock is 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The memory is 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 32.15 TFLOPS and FP16 is 32.15 TFLOPS (1:1). The TDP is 275W, it is a dual-slot card with a 1x 16-pin power connector, and it uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. Display outputs are 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The card is 245 mm long, 115 mm high, and 40 mm wide.

The benchmark result is striking: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, at the 18th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals are the Quadro K1100M (2664, +1.0%), the GT 1030 (2662, +1.1%), the Arc Pro B50 (2660, +1.1%), and the GT 440 (2645, +1.7%). This is a very low score for a GPU with 18 GB of GDDR7 and 672 GB/s bandwidth. The data indicates that the GPU's real-world performance in this benchmark is far below what the memory and compute specifications suggest. The 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 figure and the 50 RT cores / 200 tensor cores do not translate into a competitive score in this test.

Gaming Performance

There is no measured FPS data for this combination, so all frame-rate figures in this section are estimates based on the benchmark scores, not direct measurements. The CPU's 85th percentile and strong single-core scores (Cinebench R23 2008.5, Geekbench 2329, PassMark 4101) indicate it can drive high frame rates in CPU-bound games. However, the GPU's 18th percentile and its 2690 Steel Nomad score — essentially tied with the GT 1030 and GT 440 — indicate that the GPU will be the frame-rate limiter in GPU-bound titles. The expected frame rates at 1080p ultra settings will be low; at 1440p or 4K ultra, the GPU will fall further behind. The CPU is not the constraint; the GPU is.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is Intel Socket 1700, supporting both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, and the GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. The CPU TDP is 65W and the GPU TDP is 275W, for a combined 340W. The CPU is not multiplier-unlocked, so overclocking is not possible. The GPU uses a 1x 16-pin power connector.

A sensible next upgrade, given the CPU's strong 85th percentile, is to replace the GPU with a model that has a higher benchmark score. The CPU has enough headroom to feed a much more capable GPU. The platform's support for both DDR4 and DDR5 allows the user to choose either memory type depending on the motherboard. The low CPU TDP leaves thermal headroom for a larger GPU in the same chassis.
